Sequential art, yes.

Not a book

They are considered early forms of comics, yes.

But despite that the exact definition of comics is still not fully agreed upon because there are things that most would consider comics but aren't really sequential art, and things that are sequential art but that few would consider comics.

The idea of comics/sequential art being a distinct style from other 2D art is still a relatively new thing and not everyone in the art world even agrees that it is. If it is, then yes, sequential art is the oldest style of art because every single known culture has used it in some form or another. But ironically that's one of the very things that makes it controversial to be its own form: if sequential art is the oldest and most ubiquitous form of depiction, then that would make "static" art a subset of comics instead of the other way around.

Neanderthal, yes, Erectus, maybe, Australopithecus, nooooooo

Cave paintings are FAR from the first art nigga. The first art would've been singing. If we're specifically limiting it to pictorial art, then the first art was drawn in the dirt with a finger.

Like what?

Are you retarded? How are sequential cave paintings the oldest human art in ANY way? Oldest SURVIVING art is not the same as oldest. To suggest otherwise is farcical buffoonery.

No

They used the flickering light of campfires to create the impression of motion, thus they were the first animated gifs

That is hardly a representation of the majority of cave paintings. Hell, the majority of cave paintings aren't sequential at all. They certainly weren't "the first art".

This thread is retarded.
